NATIONAL REGISTER OF ARCHIVES FOR SCOTLAND
Judicial Rental of Tulliebole Estate, 1742 (NAS ref: CS9613983) the rental
and the Court of Session process papers (ref: CS234/T.3/10).
The process contains a petition of Sir John Bruce of Kinross, who had
right to the teinds of the Mains of Tulliebole, dated December 1748, which
explains that the former owners of the estate, James and Robert Halyday,
had ‘contracted considerable debts’ which had led to the sequestration of
the estate in 1742. The petition also notes the new owner, Henry Welwood
of Garvock had purchased the estate and entered there in May 1748 (‘Whitsunday
last). Sir John Bruce sought the teinds which had fallen due during the
period of the sequestration.
In February of 1742 the Court had appointed David Rutherford, WS, Edinburgh,
as factor on the Tulliebole Estate. Each year he presented his annual accounts
to the court as part of his duties as factor, and these, covering the years
1742-48, survive in the process papers. The rental of July 1742, which runs
to 66 pages, provides a list of tenants and feuars on the estate. Each tenant
appeared at the barony Court of Tulliebole and produced their titles to their
lands. The rental also notes that ‘the feuars are obliged for certain services
viz. To cast, winn and lead the Superiors Turfs and Peats etc., To labour
the Mains of Tullibole. To pay certain days Service of a Woman. To pay a
certain number of Long and Short Carriages; all which are mentioned in their
Charter; but the feuarshave been in use to pay money for their services..’
The process contains a ‘Scheme of the division of the price of the Lands
of Tullibole. . . and of the rents of the said lands preceding the sale’,
1748. This long document details the price paid by Henry Welwood was £39
200 Scots from which was deducted payment of the teinds of the glebe and
what was owed Sir John Bruce for his teinds (£612.l2.3). What remained
was then divided up among the creditors of the estate.
